Besoted, he will do anything for her - even befriend and defend - her awkward, loner brother, John, the perpetual target of school bullies. When Rachel, who is trapped in the grips of an abusive relatonship, is murdered, Mark and John are determined to avenge her death. Their actons draw the atenton of a female MI5 agent as they unwitngly stumble into an ongoing operaton. Soon, Mark is recruited to commit a devastatng crime, one that made Britsh legal history. Based on true events in the UK in 2003, uwantme2killhim? is the story of a friendship of opposites and the hidden evils that lurk deep within the Internet. LONG SYNOPSIS A suburban town centre, 2003. A hooded teenage boy walks purposefully through a modern shopping centre. His young face shows a mixture of excitement, adrenalin and fear. In his hand he holds a knife… Three months earlier. Mark (JAMIE BLACKLEY) is sixteen years old and lives in a very ordinary suburban town with his mum and dad who are too wrapped up in their own lives to give him much thought. Charming, confdent and hungry for a more excitng life, Mark’s goal scoring prowess on the football pitch has made him the most popular player in the team, and his winning looks have got him a sexy afernoon date with classmate Zoey (AMY WREN). But he comes unstuck when Zoey’s burly squaddie boyfriend, Frank (JAY McDONALD), interrupts them and Mark has to make a run for it. He doesn’t care about Zoey anyway because he’s got something beter - a burgeoning friendship with a hot girl he’s met online who combines online sex with a frisson of danger. Rachel (JAIME WINSTONE), who lives with her violently jealous boyfriend, Kevin McNeil (MINGUS JOHNSTON), knows her life is at risk, but seems unable to help herself. Mark spends every moment 2 he can talking to her through the Internet, especially now that Rachel has turned up the heat on their conversatons. They can never meet, though - she and Kevin, a gangland criminal, are in a witness protecton program because Kevin has become a police informant. Rachel wants Mark to do something for her. Her brother, John (TOBY REGBO), is in his class and he’s a misft who’s being bullied. Rachel asks Mark to make friends with him, to protect him from the school thugs who call him a terrorist because their step-dad is a Pakistani. Thoroughly besoted, Mark will do anything for Rachel, even look out for her “weirdo” litle brother - and so begins an unlikely friendship between this odd couple. Surprisingly, Mark and John start to enjoy each other‘s company. John enthrals Mark with wild stories about exotc characters from around the world, Mark in turn takes pride in being John’s protector. It makes him feel important and mature. United by their tes to Rachel, as well as their growing disgust with school and everyone in it, Mark and John start to confde in one another as neither can confde in his own parents, who are so caught up with their own problems that they can never make tme to listen to their sons’. But their world is sent into tailspin by the terrible news that Rachel has been murdered - and the boys are convinced that it was the gangster Kevin, her spurned over, who killed her. Devastated that he may have been the reason Kevin murdered her, Mark starts to plot his revenge. Suddenly, a new name pops up on Mark’s computer screen. A woman called Janet (LIZ WHITE) asks Mark why he’s interested in Kevin McNeil. She’s from the MI5 Counter Terrorism Unit and informs Mark of an ongoing operaton that links McNeil to terrorist actvites in the UK. It stops Mark in his tracks…suddenly he realises that he is in the midst of something big, BIGGER than his own dreary high school world, packed with silly young girls and bullies - bigger than anything he’d ever dreamed of. Janet orders Mark to stop pursuing Kevin - Mark’s meddling risks jeopardising the delicate operaton that MI5 is involved in. She tells him he, 3 like everyone else, is being watched – constantly. MI5 know what he’s doing at every minute, Janet informs him. But although Mark is spooked by this revelaton, he is also at the same tme fatered and impressed by his sudden new importance. For once in his life he is at the centre of things. Also, his terrible guilt at not having saved Rachel won’t let up; he has to make amends. When Janet asks him to do something for her, something that will save lives, Mark sees a chance to atone, to do something noble. The fact that it’s dangerous makes the plan all the more heroic. What he can’t predict is how it will change his and John’s lives forever… ABOUT THE PRODUCTION In 2003, an event occurred in Greater Manchester in the North-West of England that made Britsh legal history. A schoolboy of sixteen, with no criminal record and good school grades, was arrested for atempted murder. His defence was that he was working under orders for MI5, the Britsh intelligence agency. Thankfully for him, his victm survived. When the shocking truth behind the story emerged, thanks to the dogged investgaton of a lone police analyst, it revealed the astonishing consequences of adolescent alienaton, teenage friendship and the Internet colliding. These are the elements that fascinated Vanity Fair writer Judy Bachrach, who investgated and wrote about this extraordinary crime. Those same elements atracted director and producer Bryan Singer to Bachrach’s piece, which was published in February 2005. “I found the story uterly compelling,” says Singer. “There were two things that really struck me. First, it was such a unique story; I’d never heard of anything like this. Second, it was set in 2003 during what was the Wild West of social networking, when Facebook was just being invented, and young people were the social pioneers of the Internet, fnding a new way of meetng and relatng with each other based on the exchange of words rather than meetng at school or at partes. It’s interestng how, for young 4 people in partcular, these kinds of relatonships ofen tended to be deeper, probably because they are based on the writen word and they can reveal much more intmate informaton about oneself. This was a story that illustrated the depths of these kinds of cyber relatonships.” For Singer, the story also resonated because it demonstrated the dangers of just these kinds of social interactons. “There’s a real vulnerability to being on the Internet,” he explains. “This story happened before webcams were widely used so you just had words and a photo. The amount of informaton you can take in and give out in these kinds of situatons can be huge and the impact of that can be enormous. You never really know who you’re talking to. But that anonymity also makes it more appealing and allows you to speak more freely about their inner feelings. And that makes you vulnerable; that’s the scary part. It shows you the pitall and perils of the early stages of social networking.” Singer optoned the story to produce and direct through his Bad Hat Harry Productons with Warner Independent Pictures. Following the demise of WIP, Singer, who by then was directng Valkyrie, ofered the project to renowned commercials and documentary director Andrew Douglas, whose frst feature flm was the US No 1 box ofce hit, The Amityville Horror. He had also made a splash on the festval circuit with his lyrical award-winning 2003 documentary for the BBC, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus. Coincidentally, the Britsh-born, Los Angeles-based Douglas had separately tried to buy the Vanity Fair artcle, drawn by the rivetng story that seemed almost beyond belief. “The story really touched me,“ says Douglas. “I saw the pain of adolescence in this tale of these two boys. It’s a story of fathers and sons, of loneliness and friendship, of yearning for something more than you’ve got. That‘s an age-old drama but here, the place the story occupies is very new. The teenage impulse to want something bigger and beter is the same for all generatons but where once you would get that yearning in travel or drugs or sex, now, in the 21st century, it’s available in another place - the Internet. And tackling that on flm is very new. It’s a place that has a lot of similarites to the dark woods of the fairy tale, that murky world which hides thrills and danger and which parents are at a loss to understand.” 5 Douglas also responded deeply to the characters of the two boys, John and Mark, and the intensity of their friendship. “It presented an enthralling dramatsaton of co-dependent relatonships and that has always fascinated me, be it in fcton or in life.

  • Sonification As a Means to Generative Music Ian Baxter
    Sonification as a means to generative music By: Ian Baxter A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts & Humanities Department of Music January 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the use of sonification (the transformation of non-musical data into sound) as a means of creating generative music (algorithmic music which is evolving in real time and is of potentially infinite length). It consists of a portfolio of ten works where the possibilities of sonification as a strategy for creating generative works is examined. As well as exploring the viability of sonification as a compositional strategy toward infinite work, each work in the portfolio aims to explore the notion of how artistic coherency between data and resulting sound is achieved – rejecting the notion that sonification for artistic means leads to the arbitrary linking of data and sound. In the accompanying written commentary the definitions of sonification and generative music are considered, as both are somewhat contested terms requiring operationalisation to correctly contextualise my own work. Having arrived at these definitions each work in the portfolio is documented. For each work, the genesis of the work is considered, the technical composition and operation of the piece (a series of tutorial videos showing each work in operation supplements this section) and finally its position in the portfolio as a whole and relation to the research question is evaluated. The body of work is considered as a whole in relation to the notion of artistic coherency. This is separated into two main themes: the relationship between the underlying nature of the data and the compositional scheme and the coherency between the data and the soundworld generated by each piece.

  • Adidas Originals Unite All Originals Press
    Very few DJs can jump from club sets to high-profile festival performances, to Kanye West’s larger- than-life stadium shows with ease. In today’s DJ culture, A-Trak holds a truly unique place. He and partner Nick Catchdubs founded America’s most trendsetting new label, Fool’s Gold, launching the careers of artists such as Kid Sister and Kid Cudi. Fool’s Gold’s mission to merge all aspects of club music was already outlined in Trizzy’s original mixtape manifesto, Dirty South Dance, which set the tone for his own production. He is now one of the most sought-after remixers in electronic music, and his remixes for the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Boys Noize have become undeniable mainstays in DJ sets the world over. 2009 saw the release of two critically acclaimed DJ mixes, Infinity +1 and Fabriclive 45, as well as the birth of Duck Sauce, his collaboration with Armand Van Helden. The duo’s radio smash “aNYway” cemented itself as the dance anthem of the year, A-Trak’s first true chart- topper with two videos in international rotation and across-the-board support from Pete Tong to Busy P, David Guetta to 2manydjs. Duck Sauce’s 2010 follow up “Barbra Streisand” was even bigger, a whistling pop sensation that accumulated over 60 million YouTube views of its star-studded video while hitting platinum heights around the globe. They even covered it on X-Factor and Glee! Not bad for a kid whom many viewed as a 90’s turntablism prodigy.

Revising Mary Queen of Scots: from Protestant Persecution to Patriarchal Struggle Abstract Since Mary Queen of Scots’ execution in 1587, she has become a symbol of Scottish identity, failed female leadership, and Catholic martyrdom. Throughout the twentieth century, Mary was regularly depicted on screen (Ford, 1936; Froelich, 1940; Jarrott, 1971) as a thrice-wed Catholic queen, unable to rule her country due to her feminine nature and Catholic roots. However, with the rise of third wave feminism and postfeminism in media, coupled with the increased influence of emalef directors and writers, Mary’s characterization has shifted from portraying female/emotional weakness and religious sacrifice ot female/collaborative strength in hardship and a struggle against patriarchal prejudice.
